Description
I have decided over the next few months to sell some of my own record collection. It is varied in its content from 60/70's Folk and Rock to Classical. Some records I have owned since new, others I have carefully selected and picked up along the way.
Whilst I have owned them, they have only ever been played on a Michell Orbe turntable, fitted with an SME V tonearm and Lyra Delos cartridge. This plays through a Tom Evans Groove phono stage, Sim Audio Moon amplification and Sonus Faber Cremona M speakers. Not only is this a revealing system, giving me an accurate assessment of all records played on it, but it has, I hope, looked after the vinyl.
I clean my records on an Okki Nokki RCM and very carefully store them in new sleeves, in a smoke free enviroment.
All records sold, will be cleaned again and play checked before dispatch.
I will grade using the Record Collector system, erring on the side of caution, happy to discuss details with any buyers.
BRAHMS A GERMAN REQUIEM
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
The Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus conducted by OTTO KLEMPERER
COLUMBIA - SAX 2430/2431
Launched in 1958, this is one of the original Columbia "Blue and silver" records (see photo's). Like the Decca SXL Series & HMV ASD Series, a top quality recording - an Audiophiles delight...
Outer sleeves - Ex. Completely intact with no loss of laminate. No rubbing or creases, top and bottom edges intact. One corner shows some wear, but openings have little feathering. As can be seen in photo, there are small pen no's adjacent to track listing, but overall, these are excellent sleeves for their age.
Labels - All Mint. I cannot see even the faintest mark of any kind.
Vinyl visualy - All Mint under normal light. There appears at first glance to be 2 light surface marks-Side 3, but upon closer inspection they are swirls of vinyl shading-certainly nothing to do with wear.
Vinyl play - Near Mint. Records have been played, but they are in the greatest condition, with a beautiful full sound-a top quality recording which commands a high price (and rightly so) and absolutely minimal surface noise.
I am happy to offer a full refund, incl postage costs, for any record a buyer feels is not as described, if returned within 10 days.
Please do not leave any negative feedback without contacting me first, if you feel any part of my service is not as you would have wished.
Thank You
